That was the answer to : Is Sydney > LAX an A380 flight? It’s not that I dislike the 747, although some are dated if not refitted, as have flown many kilometres in them. It's just that I’ve seen the big Airbus plenty of times and would like to experience an A380 from the inside! Read more →

I have been working with AutoCAD Architecture AEC Spaces for years. They are a polyline’like object with a boundary (which since 2004 could be edited with grips Polylines got in 2011) and hatch fill. Spaces have an Osnap’able centre which is rather useful for placing tags (the default location if you just hit enter when tagging), mirroring or centre aligning content in a space. Even irregular spaces have this “centre” based on their bounding box extents. Today I was editing a closed Polyline and tried to manipulate it with a centre OSNAP. Of course it doesn’t have one but, given... Read more →

Don’t know how I missed it but a tweet, soon followed by a fellow BIM geek’s email, led me to Phil Bernstein’s relatively new Blog. It’s great to see him jump into the world of blogging. I have seen Phil speak at Autodesk University and (long before that) had some quite “vigorous” discussion via Discussion Group & Email around the Revit acquisition. I first met him at an Autodesk BIM event in Korea, 2006. A year later our paths crossed at an Autodesk University function (Revit or APAC Mixer?) and he said: “I read your post about Korea today, in... Read more →

Robert Scoble’s measure is the “Folks with more than 100 apps” and I have 116. At a guess I reckon maybe 20% of those get frequent use with Tweetdeck, Typepad, LinkedIn and Facebook being the most used. I think TomTom is my most used non-web application. Strange thing is the least used mode for my iPhone is as a phone! @Scobleizer Robert Scoble So far I've found 35 superusers and started a Twitter list: http://twitter.com/Scobleizer/super-mobile-users (Folks with more than 100 apps) Read more →
